The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 190: Wedding Planning

Victor, Lily, and Alpha were the only ones left sitting in the office as the girls left.

“What happened to that Hana?” Alpha quickly asked, although she never met her, she cared about her family members and was sure Victor would not let that girl escape his clutches.

Lily perked her ears too. Was that Hana the owner of that unique smell on her young master?

“That’s what I wanted to talk to you about,” Victor said as he began to place a series of things on the table. About 30 artifacts.

“I raided the Vault in Golden waterfall town, most of the things are just materials and pills. Those are the artifacts I found there. I want you to specify which ones you know about so that I can auction them.

Alpha frowned… Why would he auction the good stuff? She will play along for now.

“I know about three, the truth glasses, the blood mace, and the three-edged sword.” She said, making Victor quickly put them to the side and store the other in a ring then throw it to Alpha.

“Use those to arm your girls.” He said,

“What about Hana? And why are you planning to auction those things?” She asked.

“I am planning to get that girl to Join my harem… team. I can’t let her find out that I was the one who drugged her and raided her family vault.” Victor explained.

“You drugged her? You are going to scam her too?” Alpha looked at him with contempt, “What did you do, gave her to some gang and now you will go play hero and save her?” She asked.

“I thought of that possibility, but she would be a fool if she fell for it.” He said, “I just left her to be auctioned off and would go buy her and launder some money in the process… The auction is next week and you will accompany me.” Victor said, making Alpha look at him as if she wished she could strangle him… He had just sold her cousin and was 100% cool about it.

“Isn’t that a little cruel, young master?” Lily was the one who asked this time.

“No. I bet she would have done worse to me if I fell in her hand. And she is an Alchemist. I need her. I can’t let her go and save that bastard Sebastian.” Victor said.

“Sebastian?” Alpha exclaimed.

“Ah yes… I almost forgot to tell you. That fool was with her too. Didn’t I tell you before, that he is a scion with a fate to steal all of your family’s heritage? That’s what I believe anyway. How can a man end up with fateful encounters with two heirs of the most wanted family on the planet otherwise.” He explained, making Lily look at Alpha… What did he mean by most wanted family? He never told her a thing about that. Maybe she would ask him later… She thought as she touched the pearl on her chest.

“Sebastian, that scumbag was fooling Hana too, calling her elder sister… Hehe... That guy must be at least 10 years older than her.” Victor said, making Alpha frown.

“What did you do to him? Wouldn’t he be after you?” She asked.

“He only fought with Alex. And as expected of a scion, despite being a lot weaker, he almost castrated her…Him. Thankfully I managed to trick him into the vault and lock him inside without letting him see my face.” Victor said making Alpha blink and then nod, that is feasible, the family vaults are indestructible.

“Wouldn’t he have some artifact to ask for help?” She asked.

“The vault is pretty much impregnable without the right bloodline to open it. And I doubled down with an S-ranked sealing talisman, even if that bastard died, his soul would be trapped inside.” Victor explained, though not really sure if this would be enough. He quickly took his phone and texted Kai to build a resort on top of the ruins of the Villa, and to make sure not to dig anything, just level the ground and build over it… Oh, and to make sure that the toilets would be in a certain position… No one would think of digging down a toilet.

“What are you writing about, young master?” Lily asked.

“Just making sure that no one would dig up that Vault for the next 20 years,” Victor said as he pressed send.

"Are you sure?" Kai replied.

"Just do it! Just make sure no one digs below one meter." Victor sent again as the girls watched.

“Alpha if there is nothing else you want to ask about, you can go see how many of your girls were left… Margret would probably take all the useful ones.” Victor said, making Alpha stand up, shoot him a glare then look at Lily and leave the room without a word.

“Don’t blame her, she is just jealous of you…” Victor said to Lily just as Alpha was closing the door, making her almost stumble… What kind of bullshit was that bastard spouting?

She quickly shut the door with all of her strength making the entire factory shake.

“Young master, you must stop teasing her like that…” Lily said as Victor chuckled.

“Alpha is a unique kind of girl… She has been through a lot, so the best way to make her really like me is to keep myself always in her mind.” He said.

“I don’t think she is liking you…” Lily interjected.

“Don’t worry, I am just setting things right for now…” He said with a smile. He had a certain theory he needed to test, and Alpha would make a great subject, but that is for later.

“Young master… What did you mean by saying that Alpha’s family is the most wanted family on the planet?” Lily asked.

“Well… I promised her not to tell… But if it’s you that's ok.” Victor said, “Her family is called the Von Richter. Have you heard of them?” Victor asked, Lily, shook her head.

“They did some very nasty things in the past. Alpha said they were framed… Anyway, the council declared them an enemy, and their family was uprooted leaving just a few hidden heirs… So if anyone knew who Alpha really was, she would be in grave danger. Make sure not to tell anyone.” Victor said seriously as Lily nodded.

“Now… I have some news… Some of them are bad, some are not,” he said as he turned to look out the window. “A few days ago I had a conversation with my father… He said that due to the family’s situation I can’t marry you as the main wife right now.” Victor said with a sigh.

“I don’t care about that,” she said as she looked away while touching the pearl on her chest.

“According to his orders, I will be proposing to a certain girl tomorrow at school.” He said, making Lily gasp and look at him.

“I understand. That’s the young master’s commitment to his family.“ she said casually, hiding her annoyance.

“Her name is Lin… She is Linda’s …sister or cousin… Something like that. That’s the official story anyway.” Victor said.

“Official?” Lily, despite her annoyance, had to ask.

“Well this is a secret that I shouldn’t know, but Lin is the real Linda, and that Linda who ran away was just a maid that took her place because she was sick,” Victor explained, making Lily a little shocked… Can such drama exist in real life?

“Really?” she asked.

“Yup… I met her before, she is a good girl who suffered a lot. I think the two of you will be good friends… And I will only marry her as a concubine, so you don’t have to be worried about your position.” He said, making Lily glare at him and then nod. She never cared about titles, as long as she can stay with him.

“I understand.” She repeated,

“After that, I will go to Newlure city and propose to a second girl.” He added again, making her freeze again then squeeze her little fist hard until her knuckles turned white…

“A second girl? Young master… How many girls are you going to propose to?” She asked with a little sour voice.

“My father told me about them when I met him a few days ago. He wanted a double wedding to boost his image. You heard him when he told me about her the other day. Her name is Nova… So… Just Three for now…” He said putting the blame on his father.

“For now?... Wait... Three?! I understand…” She said as she looked down in grief. Her young master is a pervert. A bad big pervert.

“Why are you sad? This is good for you!” He said, making her look at him with an angry frown, not knowing what to say. Was he making fun of her?

“That girl Nova… didn’t hear what father said back then? She cheated on her fiance with some stupid guy.” Victor said.

“Yeah… What does that have to do with me? Do you want her to cheat on you too?” She spat with some anger.

“Not that. She will never accept to marry me… As she loved one is a scion who goes by the name Thomas Watson.” Victor said, making Lily who was looking out of the window look back at him with wide-open eyes.

“Tom? That Peeping Tom?” she asked.

“Yes… Bad taste, I know... Imagine what would happen if I told her that I know who her beloved is." He said.

"You will black male her?" Lily asked,

"On the contrary, Not only will I help hide him from her family, but I will also help her meet and elope with him,” Victor said.

“If she believed you, she would do exactly as you tell her to… But what is that good for? She will not for in love with you… Not very easily anyway,” Lily interjected, getting a little angry again.

“You missed the point, my dear Lily. I don’t want her to Love me… I want her to escape the wedding!” He said as he caught Lily’s hand and dragged her toward him and making her blush.

“Escape? Why?” She asked.

"Because the wedding will carry on with or without her. Many important guests are going to attend. It would not be a good thing for the families involved if the bride escaped!” Victor said, making her frown a little. She was getting at something there.

“You want to sabotage the wedding… No… If you made all the parties corporate…. You want to….” She froze as she looked at him in shock. Her young master is simply too evil.

“It would be very risky, and the plan needs some things ironed out.” He said, I already told you, the only way to keep us together is marriage, and this is a great chance to let some members of your family bear witness to that. So….” He said as he got on one knee. “Will you marry me?” He asked with a bright smile.
